100%

The question is attached in the image. How can a function defined in the following manner be 'linearly' independent? The function is given by "fk (x) = x^k". For any x value we can define a transformation in this manner but why will the set be 'linearly' independent?

Please provide a solution for the question given in the image. Thank you. 

11. The set {f1, f2, ..., fn} where each fr is a real-valued function defined on R, is said to
be linearly independent if c1, C2, . .. , Cn E R and EC fr (x) = 0 for every r ER implies
C1 = C2 = ·….= Cn = 0
Suppose fr(x) = x* for all r E R and k = 1,..., n. Then,
A. the set {f1, ..., fn} is linearly independent.
B. each pair of these functions is linearly independent, but larger n-tuples are not.
C. only the subset of odd-numbered functions and the subset of even-numbered
functions are linearly independent.
D. every "proper subset of this set of functions is linearly independent, but the
whole set is not.
